Bill Morton

C.J. recalls Bill Morton as her high school debate classmate during a parking lot chat after a reunion dinner. She lists him first among old acquaintances—Julia Keller from cheerleading, Liz Varney from tennis—while sharing nostalgia with Marco. This mention anchors C.J.'s roots in small-town life, contrasting her White House pressures as an unanswered call from Toby interrupts. Morton emerges as a touchstone of her pre-political past, evoked in a moment of flirtatious respite.
